Perfect for families with children aged 3-8. A different way of doing church that involves games, songs, crafts and food. Messy Church usually takes place on the third Monday of the month in St Matthew’s Centre.

St Matthew’s is a beautiful place to have your wedding. As well as helping you arrange a wedding service that is individual to you, our marriage preparation course enables couples to think about their commitment to each other to build a strong foundation for the future.

If you’d like to get married in St Matthew’s contact the church office about your potential wedding date. They’ll collect contact details from you and pass those on to John, who leads the 2 evening sessions of marriage preparation and Jim, who will look forward to seeing you at services as you become part of the St Matthew’s congregation.

The Church of England wedding website is very helpful for wedding planning.

Baptisms

Baptisms are a common element of our 10.30am service and are always a great occasion. Families are supported by being able to talk through the significance of baptism with Jim Trood or another member of clergy.

If you’d like to enquire about baptism, contact the church office and they will send you an information pack.
